Pete Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Apologies for the forum and news downtime. There was apparently a hiccup in the database and unfortunately I haven't been about for the past day or two to even notice it let alone fix it. I'm not quite sure what caused it, so I won't guarantee that it'll never happen again, but this software is pretty stable... it crashes less frequently than Windows at any rate Carry on, there's nothing to see here...

Strong Bob Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Hey, I'm still getting errors from a bunch of topics. (Particularly the "Word Association Game in the Off Topic Forum.) Here's the exact message: "Sorry, some required files are missing, if you intended to view a topic, it's possible that it's been moved or deleted. Please go back and try again." EDIT: Nevermind, I just realized that despite it still appearing as the most recent post in Off Topic, the thread itself is no longer there...

The Demi-Godly One Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 I couldn't go to anything... P.S. One emoticon doesn't appear anymore for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 18, 2003 Author Share Posted June 18, 2003 @ Strong Bob - yup, that's because it's been moved or removed @ Demi-Godly One - Something must be wrong at your end then as it works fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted June 24, 2003 Author Share Posted June 24, 2003 Again with the Klingons... This place seems to be cursed - I leav for more than 24 hours twice in a fortnight and both times this error pops up. Run for your lives! Nah, seriously - I have no clue as to why. It can;t be a database attack as the whole thing would have been wiped, but a solution is on the horizon. It's a long way off (weeks-->months) but we're not losing anything much as far as I can see. Let me know if any topics start to go missing. At that point I'll have to start taking drastic action... so make sure they've not just been moved first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Demi-Godly One Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I notice that during that time, the computer doesn't record it, my posts per day stayed the same even though I was gone for a couple of days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Photon Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 You know what my advise is? Format C: /sI'd say format c: /s/c ... I just have a hunch that maybe the database files are being corrupted because the disk on which they reside is about to go kaput... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Question: Did Bill Gates have anything to do with any of the software controling the forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
